Assuring success in your SAP project

Automation - Reducing the time and cost of testing, producing faster results for our clients and greater test coverage.

Accelerators - reduce the cost and time of testing complex ERP implementations, compared to manual and automated testing, whilst ensuring high productivity, test coverage and quality.

Performance Testing - Ensuring scalability as demands on the platform grow and user numbers increase - giving you confidence that your technology will perform at peak load and volumes.

Performance Engineering & Optimisation - We help you design performance into your applications, assess performance throughout development and provide you with the assurance you need to go live. If you have already gone live, we can resolve any existing performance issues you may be experiencing, as well as assess the live system to see where performance improvements can be made by pinpointing the areas affecting poor performance.

Cloud Migration Testing & Optimisation - Testing and assurance services that give organisations migrating applications to the cloud confidence that your cloud provider is giving you the performance you are paying for and that it will be sufficient to support the business today and in the future.

Microsoft Dynamics AX

Microsoft Dynamics AX

Specialist Quality Assurance for Dynamics AX to speed up delivery, mitigate its risk and bring down its cost

Why test Dynamics AX?

Dynamics AX, like any ERP system, can slow down or fail when customisation is introduced or when it's being scaled up. AX Partners only test up to a certain point: after that, it is up to you as the programme owner to ensure that the overall system delivers

Why StarBase?

We have tested the largest and most complex AX programmes; we've built an arsenal of IP, experience and know-how in the testing of AX enabling you to:

Rapidly resolve sources of underperforming AX

In any implementation above a certain size or complexity level, Dynamics AX is prone to running slowly. We have built a proprietary tool set that exposes exactly where delays are occurring, saving weeks of time and cost on their resolution.

Automate to replace costly manual regression testing

Would you like to be able to quickly re-test all of your existing AX functionality every time you bring a release or update live? We have automated end-to-end regression testing so that it takes hours rather than days and slashes the associated cost.

Prove that your AX system will scale without slowing down or failing

Scaling up always exposes and magnifies performance weaknesses, whether they're in custom-written code, interfaces to other systems or in AX itself. Using IP we've created specifically for testing Dynamics AX, we can give you a clear view as to whether your system will scale safely.

Be confident that your testing strategy is suitably designed and delivered

The acceptance of any ERP system requires careful planning and management. We provide test strategy, governance, methodologies and management. Working with your internal team and your AX Partner, we ensure that you get the quality you need.
